Is the opposite of Homeless Homemore?

Yesterday immersed myself in strawberries and cherries trying to hold off the worry. I managed to make 11 half pints of strawberry jam and three of cherry preserves, my summer of fun and food is starting off well.

Well, almost..there is the need for a place to live, soon. I was calling people and not getting replies, emailing with no result and the one house I saw and loved I knew it was too remote for me.

Later on I called a couple of apartment listings and actually got to talk to a person right away who said I could go and see the empty apartment. Sooooo, see it I did and it's looking good. It's completely not what I wanted but I believe in keeping an open mind to see where it takes me. This little apartment is practically in downtown Nevada City, has a huge garden area out front which will suit the boys, plus it's funky and fun and even has a nice big porch/deck. Of course, no garage but there is off-street parking, the two bedrooms are really one and a half and I'm sure several other reason why I shouldn't want it, but I do.

Imagine living right downtown in a wonderful, historic, funky mountain town filled with musical events, bars, restaurants, shopping, unusual characters and whatnot? I think it's just perfect for me right now. I'm ready to walk the boys all around and greet people, to wander out in the evening to find some music or a play or just some conversation. Sounds really great to me. I'll be moving my studio to a safe and secure location surrounded by other artists so that's taken care of.

About Me

I'm a 60 something Californian, born to orange groves but raised in the mountains, here my spirit and my heart soar. I spend my days hammering metal, exploring the wealth of fine food and wine in this area, and having excellent adventures on the mountain paths, ocean bluffs and river walks with my two Cardigan Welsh Corgi's, Dandy and Bode.
